Description: In nearly each single area of our life chemistry plays a role without us noticing it: No matter whether we make coffee, keep fit with jogging, sit at the computer or drive a car. Chemistry helps with washing, cleaning and caring. Chemistry lets plants bloom. Chemistry provides new textiles. Chemical reactions in our own body determine sensations such as joy, lust and excitement. Chemistry is not a man-made invention. ALL in nature Is CHEMISTRY after all.
In this magazine you will find out how chemistry - seemingly unperceived - accompanies our life and makes it more agreeable. You will also find out what chemistry will make possible in the future.
